    What if the biggest barrier to your AI-powered future isn't the algorithm, but the state of your data from five years ago? Agility requires more than just fast decision-making; it demands a foundational trust in the data that fuels those decisions. It's about having the right information, accessible and reliable, to pivot not just your campaigns, but your entire strategy. Today, we're going to talk about the often-overlooked foundation of marketing agility and AI innovation: the data infrastructure itself. We'll explore how the role of the CMO is shifting from a master of messaging to a master of data strategy, and what it takes to lead a marketing organization when the quality of your data directly determines the success of your most ambitious technology investments.

    El proyecto "Chile-China Express" tensiona la relación entre Santiago y Washington

    El embajador de Estados Unidos en Chile advirtió que su país podría revisar la exención de visado para ciudadanos chilenos tras revocar el beneficio a tres funcionarios vinculados al proyecto de cable interoceánico "Chile-China Express" para conectar a Valparaíso con Hong Kong. El analista Guillermo Holzmann no descarta que estas tensiones continúen tras la llegada de Katz al poder. La administración Trump volvió a subir el tono frente al saliente gobierno de Chile el lunes al anunciar, por boca de su embajador, que podría abrir la puerta a retirar la exención de visado a los chilenos para ingresar a Estados Unidos como turistas, en otras palabras, eliminar la "Visa Waiver". La causa de las tensiones se encuentra en un cable de fibra óptica que podría conectar Valparaíso con Hong Kong —el cable interoceánico "Chile-China Express"— y que, para el gobierno de Boric, está en etapa de "evaluación". Para Washington, el proyecto socava la seguridad regional. De hecho, tres funcionarios de la administración chilena vinculados al proyecto fueron sancionados con la revocación de su Visa Waiver. "El embajador de Estados Unidos en Chile hizo ver a la autoridad respectiva en diciembre y enero que hay un inconveniente. Según Estados Unidos, hay antecedentes suficientes en términos de lo que podría ser una eventual fuga de datos (a China) o la interferencia en el traslado de esa información y, en la práctica, de que esas interferencias lleguen directamente al gobierno chino. Esto podría constituir un riesgo y una amenaza a la seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos, pero también a la seguridad regional", dijo a RFI Guillermo Holzmann, analista político y académico de la Universidad de Valparaíso. El anuncio del embajador de Estados Unidos es una advertencia a Santiago que se enmarca en la nueva Estrategia de Seguridad Nacional de la administración actual, sostiene Holzmann. La Visa Waiver no corre riesgos a corto plazo  "Hay un aumento de tono de parte del embajador. Pero todo hace pensar que la Visa Waiver no corre riesgo en este momento, ya que ésta se maneja por otras instancias en términos del acceso a los datos. Pero es cierto que Estados Unidos la puede colocar sobre la mesa si efectivamente desea presionar al gobierno de Chile con respecto a cuál va a ser el estatus que va a mantener en su relación con Santiago, si es o no una relación normal en términos migratorios y de circulación de personas", apunta. El presidente electo de Chile, Antonio Kast, tomará posesión en marzo, pero el cambio de gobierno no es garantía de que las tensiones con Estados Unidos se reduzcan, estima el analista. "Lo más probable es que las dificultades se mantengan [cuando Kast llegue al poder]. Chile tendrá que ver cómo abre el espacio de diálogo y negociación. Hay que considerar la atención y la focalización que tiene Estados Unidos respecto a los intereses chinos en América Latina. Esto no es nuevo; también está lo que pasa con el Canal de Panamá", concluye. En diciembre, el presidente Donald Trump celebró la victoria de Antonio Kast y señaló que apoyó abiertamente al candidato de extrema derecha durante las elecciones.

    With B2B marketers drowning in data and automation, have we forgotten that our buyers are still human beings who are moved more by compelling visuals than by another line on a spreadsheet?

    En esta entrevista de Vida Digital, Alex Neuman conversa con Steffy Hochstein, directora digital de Another Company, sobre las principales lecciones que el comercio electrónico de América Latina puede aprender de los gigantes chinos sin caer en el simple “copiar y pegar” del modelo. Steffy explica cómo la infraestructura logística de China, con hubs casi totalmente automatizados, flotas autónomas y entregas incluso en zonas rurales el mismo día, contrasta con una Latinoamérica donde aún faltan cobertura, automatización y capacidad de inversión, aunque desde la pandemia de 2020 se ha avanzado de forma importante.Abordan también los obstáculos regulatorios y de aranceles que encarecen y retrasan envíos hacia la región, frente a marcos más claros y tratados comerciales mejor aprovechados por China con Europa, lo que obliga a gobiernos latinoamericanos a modernizar reglas si quieren acelerar su e‑commerce. En pagos digitales, Steffy describe cómo en China y gran parte de Europa el efectivo prácticamente ha sido desplazado por billeteras móviles integradas en el teléfono, mientras que en Latinoamérica persisten baja bancarización, preferencia por efectivo y pago contra entrega, y una fuerte desconfianza alimentada por fraudes y mal uso de datos.La conversación entra en el rol de la inteligencia artificial en la personalización extrema de la oferta en plataformas chinas, frente a un uso todavía incipiente en la región, donde falta “data limpia”, capacidades técnicas y un marco que genere confianza en el manejo de datos personales. También comentan el live shopping como formato donde China ya tiene toda una industria montada, mientras que en Latinoamérica la audiencia sigue siendo cauta y demanda más demostraciones, especificaciones y garantías antes de comprar en vivo.Steffy subraya que el reto latinoamericano no es replicar a AliExpress o Temu, sino adaptar las mejores prácticas a la realidad local: combinar infraestructura existente, inclusión financiera, educación al usuario y estrategias comerciales que pongan al cliente en el centro. De cara a 2030, apuesta a que el verdadero diferencial para los retailers latinoamericanos estará primero en la bancarización y los pagos digitales, como base para luego escalar en logística avanzada e inteligencia artificial, siempre privilegiando la confianza del usuario y la sostenibilidad de los márgenes.

    With B2B marketers drowning in data and automation, have we forgotten that our buyers are still human beings who are moved more by compelling visuals than by another line on a spreadsheet? Agility requires not just the speed to react, but the insight to know what to react with. It demands a seamless connection between creative ideation and performance data, allowing teams to not only launch campaigns quickly but to make them smarter over time. Today, we're going to talk about the often-underestimated power of visual communication and design-led thinking in B2B marketing. We'll explore why creativity isn't just a 'nice to have' but a core driver of engagement and business results, how neuroscience backs this up, and how new platforms are enabling marketing teams to scale high-quality creative while directly measuring its impact on the bottom line. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Emma Robinson, Head of B2B Marketing at Canva.

    The meeting was an informal community discussion reviewing recent local news, policy developments, and cultural topics. Participants began with remarks on firearm performance and rifle preferences, then moved to winter sports updates including Olympic hockey scores and regional skating and curling access. Conversation turned to media and culture, covering a contentious blackface gag, the reported death of Jesse Jackson, and debates over a racially charged social-media post. Policy and public-safety items followed: participants reviewed VA disability rating rules and personal experiences with medical records and benefits; discussed a Capitol security incident involving an armed individual, local crime reports, and a severe single-vehicle crash; and noted recent Virginia transportation and labor-policy changes such as new flights and updated sick-leave and minimum-wage laws. A sustained portion of the discussion addressed student-led walkouts, associated shoplifting and injury reports, and enforcement and liability options for schools, parents, police, and retailers. Other topics included a violent Pawtucket incident and reporting confusion, disputes over flying a pride flag on federal parkland, a Vermont foster-license case about trans-related training, plans for raising backyard chickens, and federal court and Supreme Court developments on tariffs, preemption, and judges' ethics.

    What if your most persistent customer complaint wasn't a flaw to be fixed, but a key that could unlock an entirely new business model? Agility requires not just the ability to pivot, but the organizational courage to act on customer insights—even when those insights challenge your most fundamental business assumptions. It's about being willing to dismantle something that works in order to build something that works better. Today, we're going to talk about CX that pays off and how both achieving and demonstrating ROI is key to becoming a truly insights-driven organization. We'll explore how a major brand listened to a difficult truth from its customers and completely transformed its marketplace strategy, turning a major pain point into a massive competitive advantage.

    Nach dem Wahl-Schock von 2024 waren die Demokraten lange Zeit wie gelähmt. Doch nach den Wahlsiegen vom vergangenen November keimt neue Hoffnung in der Partei auf, und nun könnte es sogar in Texas eine Überraschung geben. Eine Kandidatin mit mexikanischen Wurzeln will die Stimmung gegen Inflation, hohe Strompreise und ICE-Einsätze nutzen und fordert Gouverneur Greg Abbott heraus. Werden Trumps Kernthemen Migration und Wirtschaft zur Gefahr für die Republikaner? Produktion: Sermet Agartan Redaktion: Wim Orth „Amerika-Effekt – Donald Trump und die neue Weltordnung“ nimmt jede Woche unter die Lupe, wie die USA – und vor allem Donald Trump – die globale Politik neu vermessen. WELT-USA-Korrespondentin Stefanie Bolzen spricht mit den WELT-Redakteuren Antonia Beckermann und Wim Orth sowie internationalen Korrespondenten über Machtverschiebungen, Allianzen und Konflikte. Ob harte Handelspolitik und neue Zölle, der veränderte Umgang mit NATO-Partnern oder der Druck auf internationale Institutionen – der Podcast zeigt, wie Trumps Kurs bereits konkrete Folgen für Europa, China und den Nahen Osten hat. Analytisch, nah dran und verständlich erklärt, ordnet „Der Amerika-Effekt“ das tägliche Washington-Rauschen ein und macht klar, warum Entscheidungen im Weißen Haus die Welt weit über die USA hinaus verändern.

    What does it mean to exist at the intersection of race, gender, and culture while still be expected to remain quiet?In this episode of Miss Opinionated, we hold an honest and necessary conversation about the lived experiences of women of color. Joined by a Latina woman from Panama and a Black woman from Louisiana, and grounded in my own experience as a mixed-race woman; Black, Mexican, and Indigenous American. We explore how women of color are consistently silenced, overlooked, and used as testing grounds in medical, social, and academic spaces.We discuss colorism and texturism within our communities, the personal and generational impact they carry, and the emotional toll of being extraordinary yet rarely recognized. From overlooked inventions to uncredited labor, this episode reflects on how women of color continue to shape the world while being denied the visibility and praise given to their white counterparts.This conversation is reflective, critical, and rooted in truth centering lived experience, cultural memory, and the power of naming what has long been ignored.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/giulio-fazio/flamingo-dance-in-loveLicense code: VACIYA6LRUPB4N0X

    There is a quiet kind of courage that comes with being the first. First to apply. First to navigate systems your parents never had access to. First to make decisions without a roadmap. This episode is about that courage, and the trust it takes to keep moving anyway.In today's episode of Amiga Handle Your Shit, Jackie Tapia sits down with Valerie Carrillo, a first-generation Latina navigating the college application process largely on her own. With parents who did not attend college, Valerie shares what it has meant to figure things out in real time, ask for help when she needed it, and learn how to advocate for herself in rooms she was never taught how to enter.Valerie reflects on studying abroad at a young age, returning home with a broader sense of what is possible, and how that experience shaped her confidence and resilience. She opens up about the pressure many first-gen students carry, the fear of rejection, and the mindset shifts that helped her stay grounded while applying to competitive schools without guarantees.The conversation also touches on faith, timing, and learning to trust that not getting what you want right away does not mean you are failing. Valerie reminds us that outcomes do not define worth and that sometimes the long way around still gets you exactly where you are meant to be.Tune in to episode 270 of Amiga Handle Your Shit for a real and refreshing conversation on first-generation ambition, self-trust, and navigating the unknown without losing yourself.Episode Takeaways:What it's like to be first-gen with no blueprint for college (04:40)How studying abroad early built confidence and independence (11:50)Why asking for help became a turning point in her application process (24:30)The emotional side of applying to competitive universities (26:40)How faith and perspective helped her release fear around outcomes (34:10)Why rejection does not mean you are off track (34:50)Connect with Valerie:InstagramLet's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInJackie Tapia Arbonne's websiteBook: The AMIGA Way: Release Cultural Limiting Beliefs to Transform Your Life Hosted on Acast.

    ¿Por qué, de todos los símbolos posibles, el presidente argentino Javier Milei eligió la motosierra? ¿Por qué le regaló una a Elon Musk? ¿Por qué los nuevos hombres de éxito son crypto incels? Porque Argentina es el laboratorio de un turboneoliberalismo feudal y misógino que mira su siguiente pieza clave: España, a través de figuras como Ayuso o Abascal. Es la tesis de la periodista argentina Luciana Peker, exiliada en España, en su libro "La odiocracia", editado por Libros del K.O. Hablamos con ella de esta oleada ultra y las resistencias en América Latina. Un programa que despedimos con una nueva sección de Desigualdad Cero, en colaboración con Oxfam Intermón, sobre periodismo perseguido y exiliado en América Latina.

    What if one of your most valuable CX analysts isn't even a person? Agility requires not just collecting data, but closing the gap between insight and action at scale. This means empowering every level of the organization, from the frontline to the C-suite, with the right information at the right time to make smarter, faster decisions. Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond the score. We'll explore how Generative AI is shifting the discipline of customer experience from a reactive, score-chasing exercise to a proactive, problem-solving engine.

    Did your brand just spend $7 million on a 30-second ad that alienated or ignored half its potential audience? Agility requires a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions—like the idea that a celebrity and a massive budget are all you need for a winning Super Bowl ad. It demands that brands move from gut feelings to data-driven insights to understand what truly resonates with their audience. Today, we're going to talk about the biggest advertising event of the year: the Super Bowl. Millions of dollars are spent, careers are made, and brands have one 30-second shot to capture the zeitgeist. But beyond the spectacle and the morning-after buzz, what actually drives results? We'll dig into the data behind the ads, exploring which brands successfully connected with key audiences, what the data says about using celebrities, and how the smartest brands think about the Super Bowl not as a single event, but as a strategic play in a much larger game.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Nataly Kelly, CMO at Zappi.

    In a world without third-party cookies, is your customer loyalty program your most valuable asset, or your biggest missed opportunity? Agility requires a fundamental shift from viewing loyalty as a transactional rewards program to embracing it as a dynamic, data-driven engine for the entire customer experience. It demands that brands are able to listen, predict, and adapt to customer needs in real time. Today, we're going to talk about the evolution of customer loyalty from a simple marketing tactic to a core enterprise strategy.

    Is your brand's biggest vulnerability a traditional competitor, or your organization's inability to execute your strategy consistently across every single customer touchpoint? Agility requires more than just a fast-moving central team. It requires creating a resilient system that empowers distributed teams to execute flawlessly while adapting to local needs. Today, we're going to talk about that critical, and often broken, link between marketing strategy and frontline execution. It's the ‘last mile' problem where brilliant campaigns can fall apart in the hands of local dealers, franchisees, or regional managers, leading to inconsistent customer experiences and wasted resources. We'll explore how to bridge this gap, moving from one-off campaigns to a cohesive marketing system. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Andy Baker, CEO & Founder at Sesimi. About Andy Baker Andrew Baker is the Founder and CEO of Sesimi, a global brand management and creative automation platform designed to help distributed organisations deliver consistent, compliant and high-impact marketing at scale. Since founding Sesimi in 2010, Andrew has shaped the company's vision, product and global footprint, building both a world-class team and an international partner network to support enterprise customers around the world. Under Andrew's leadership, Sesimi has delivered large-scale SaaS solutions across four continents for some of the world's leading automotive brands and other complex, multi-location organisations. His deep expertise in aligning marketing strategy with real-world execution has been instrumental in Sesimi's international growth and the platform's ability to solve persistent challenges around brand governance, localisation and creative production. Before founding Sesimi, Andrew built a strong foundation in finance and commercial strategy, beginning his career at KPMG, GE Finance and Sallie Mae. He later transitioned into advertising, leading a boutique agency responsible for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in Australia — work that involved developing and delivering Tier I, II and III retail campaigns across all media channels. It was through this experience, addressing the operational complexity of brand and campaign execution across dealer networks, that the idea for Sesimi was born. Andrew holds a Master of Finance and a Bachelor of Business from RMIT University, and brings more than two decades of experience building and leading high-performing teams — both locally and remotely — to support enterprise-grade customers in rapidly evolving markets.
